Rosemarie “Schatzi” Staton passed from this life on Saturday, December 31, 2022, in Durant, Okla., at the age of 72. She was born on November 1, 1950, in Lawton, Okla., to Joseph E. and Erika (Hoffman) Larimer. She married the love of her life, Jim Staton, on November 15, 1968, in Las Cruces, N.M.
Schatzi’s greatest accomplishment in life was her family, she loved her kids and grandkids with everything she had. She was a great caregiver to everything, humans, and animals alike. She had a gift for making everyone feel special and loved to make everyone happy. She was the best hugger, and everyone loved her “Grandma hugs.” When anyone went to visit, she would follow them outside where she stood and waved until they were out of sight. No matter the weather, she was outside barefoot, rain snow or shine. She will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved her. To be loved by her was such a privilege.
